Mysterio Buff! - My idea
Now i know it’s not very likely to happen but with the buffs lately it just got me thinking.
Most importantly, Mysterio isn’t all too bad of an attacker, this idea is just for fun and hopefully (but highly unlikely), Kabam will buff our favorite fishbowl one day. and yes, this is motivated by the VtD changes. Now what is too change:
Theres not much to change on Mysterios kit, really just takes a few changes to add.
- a combo that cancels into heavy! this one is probably the biggest and most important change id do to him. It switches up his parry-heavy gameplay and just makes his rotation feel much more fluent. Also makes him still shine in match-ups where he can’t parry.
- Give him either Neuroshock immunity or reverse control immunity! This one’s to push his utility a bit more. He doesn’t need some evade or miss counter. This would just play into his class relation with especially newer mutants having one or both of these tools. I personally would go for the neuroshock immunity as that with the rest of his kit would make him great against Onslaught, Jean AND finally Captain Britain.
- Extra! -> Have his heavy either remove prowess / or grant him back one charge of his gas for each prowess on the opponent whenever Mysterio uses a heavy.This would just be a need bonus that he does not need but god would it help against certain match-ups and nodes.
- He does NOT need acid burn! Personally, poison is by now such a unique DoT again that it’s fine if he can’t play around the immunity. Most mutants don’t even have the immunity and we don’t need every character (Nico for example) to be overturned and to handle EVERY fight of the class they’re good against.
- No need for daunted counter. Making him counter prowess as stated above AND counter daunted puts him back into the overturned scenario. He can’t counter every mutant ability, make the player still play around some nodes or abilities.
I think these quite simple yet not overpowered changes makes Mysterio be viable and fun, holding up with modern mutants. The first two changes are the ones that I beg Kabam to add although chances are very slim. I’d like to hear your ideas and perhaps with enough noise, we can make a change.
